If you're getting a "URL is invalid" message when you try to upload your Vimeo or Youtube video, not to worry. There's a simple explanation. The video URL uploader accepts video inks in a specific format- you need to modify your video's . URL to the proper format see how below:

Vimeo

Determine your video to Vimeo's ID, go to the video's page and look for the numbers that come after the slash (/).

Underlined in red is the video ID. The Strikingly video background upload accepts vimeo URLs in the following formats:

In the following examples, (*) represents the name of the channel and (XXXXXXX), the video ID.

vimeo.com/ XXXXXXX (This is the most prefered and common video URL)

vimeo.com/channels/*/ XXXXXXX

vimeo.com/groups/*/videos/ XXXXXXX

Youtube

Your Youtube video's ID is the sequence of letters and numbers after "v ="

eg video URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-G59dzN-zo the code after v = is the video ID In this example: Q-G59dzN-ZO
